This eight-story U-shaped hotel, constructed of traditional rough-hewn Jerusalem limestone, overlooks the Citadel and the Old City beyond. Central ground-level terraces accommodate a glass-domed lobby, dining patios, a swimming pool, and hanging gardens. A four-story stone arcade defines the main entrance along King David Street, while a suspended glass canopy, echoing the arcade’s form, highlights the porte cochère. Inside, pattered stone floors, beech wood paneling, and stenciled wood ceilings compose a modern design rooted in the traditions of Jerusalem and the Mediterranean.
